Details

In his original implementation for bug 899347 (click-to-play for e10s), mbrubeck wrote a comment about only loading / instantiating the PluginContent class if a plugin is being loaded in content, and click to play is enabled.

Unsure what the performance impact would be, but it'd be non-zero.
Chris, this seems relevant to the discussion about how long to keep loaded plugins around
